It shouldn't do. It is just a normal programme like Microsoft Office and internet explorer are. However it may make your computer run really slow, but that is just when pearpc is running.zone wrote:is there any kind of chance it will screw up windows or my harddrive by trying it? Thanks!
hope that helps

I tried setting up PearPC but always I start up the program I get an error stating there is no bootable partition.
Here's an excerpt from my ppccfg.example file:
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "pearpc-6gib.img"
#pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "Mac OS 8.5.iso"
pci_ide0_slave_image = "x:\Mac Emulation\Mac Os X 10.3 Panther Cd1.nrg"
#pci_ide0_slave_image = "/dev/cdrom"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
So, what is wrong?
I have placed the 6GB disk image file in the emulator folder, I placed the OS X image in the above mentioned folder, additionally I have placed a Mac OS 8.5 image in the same folder (although I don't know what I am supposed to write into the config file.
Who can tell me, how it would be right?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thx,
Cyman

Heh, you might wanna learn what a comment is, try this:
pci_ide0_master_installed = 1
pci_ide0_master_image = "pearpc-6gib.img"
pci_ide0_master_type = "hd"
pci_ide0_slave_installed = 1
pci_ide0_slave_image = "x:\Mac Emulation\Mac Os X 10.3 Panther Cd1.nrg"
pci_ide0_slave_type = "cdrom"
Not only that, but .nrg files are not standard ISOs I believe. You need to convert it to .iso first.

no thats it the problem is that as soon as i select the partition to boot if i do f12 it does not crash it sort of get stuck on hold if i disable the mouse it continues to boot if i enable the mouse again it goes back on hold but it does not crash but now if i let i go it will start to boot the cd but then after a while i end up on a screen where they ask me for the language installation but i cant choose anything since if i enable the mouse it just stays stuck so i cant move the cursor to chose the language i want .Stephen Coates wrote:Could you enable the mouse, while you OSX CD is booting and NOT disable it again, or is it the PearPC programme that is crashing, not the MacOSX installer?ataxy wrote:ok i got to borrow a cd of osx from a school mate but here is my new problem it boots and everything except i have one problem each time i do f12 to enable the mouse the installation freezes if i click f12 again to disable the mouse it continues so the problem is that ounce i get to the point where i have to select witch language i want to do the installation i cant select anything cuz as soon as i do f12 it freeze again
i dont know if it may help but i am using a logitech usb mouse
anyway here is a screenshot of where i stay stuck and if you look in the top left you can see the cursor wich is there but i cant do nothing with it
dah! this is incredible!
ok, im having the same problem.. no bootable partition.. im trying to install darwin on a 3gb drive..
thats my configfile.. and its saying 'no bootable partitions'..
it gives the alternative to force a boot, but its beyond me..[/size][/code]

yes it was a problem with mac osx 10.1 and it works fine with mac osx 10.3 now.ataxy wrote:from what i heard it only boots 10.2 or 10.3 everything below that as problemali67 wrote:hi.
I created an image from my mac osx cd with nero6 but its extension was .nrg and with nrg2iso(on linux) i converted it to iso.
but after selecting : 1.partition 9 of 'cdrom0' (Mac_OS_X/Apple_HFS)
it closed with this error: [IO/PROM] <Error> unknown interpret size 1972
also I must say I have mac osx 10.1 cd.
thanks.
good luck.

Have you tried NERO?= There is a tutorial right here:
http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=245
Makes ISO images instead of IMG images. They might work.

select read from the left menu.Anonymous wrote:Gemulator won't work - All the menu items are grayed out, and I tried BlindWrite but it doesn't show any ISO profiles.
What's wrong?
P.S.: I'm using a Jaguar CD.
then select your cd/dvd rom device.
choose the path and file type in destination section.
in the settings section select iso image.
after all click on read.
sorry for english mistakes
I finally got it to run.
When I went to sleep last night I became aware of the .nrg image problem not being recognized by the emulator. Then I tried converting it with several image tools, but I had no success. After that I tried it with Nero, converting my CD into an ISO file (I followed the instruction posted in some link above) and voilà - it worked!
I'm so happy, I can't tell you!
